Nick, don't tell me you can't read either. Where did I say Honda and Toyota invested more than GM or Ford? Did I not say multiple times that I support GM investing in China? Did I not say that I supported the bailout? Come on, read what I posted not what you assume I posted. I don't know if GM...

Originally Posted By: LS2JSTS Originally Posted By: Cardinal49 I think the $18B Toyota quotes is pretty significant. I am sure the employees that work for Toyota, the towns that their plants are located in and their dealers would agree. However, this is much less than the more significant...

Originally Posted By: LS2JSTS Originally Posted By: Cardinal49 Never said they didn't. Just pointing out that Honda and Toyota have made significant contributions to the US economy for decades. Well, you never gave any of us a definition of what you meant by "commitment to the US", so I hold...

I have had hit and miss luck with electronics over the years. I had a great Sony TV (tube) that still works but all other Sony products had a pretty short life span. I have a Samsung LCD that has a great picture and is going on 3 years with no problems. I was looking for a 32" LCD for the...

Originally Posted By: KrisZ Cardinal49, I hate to burst your bubble, but Japanese are partnering up with Chinese as well. Honda has two partnerships in China, it's a huge market that is blocked to the outsiders unless they have a partnership with a Chinese company. Why can't we do this as well...

Getting back to the original topic. If GM is funded by the US Government is it fair to say that the US Government is ivesting in Chinese plants?

I did just look on the Toyota website. They are obviously not an independant 3rd party but they state that in the US they have created over 365,000 jobs, invested $18B, have 1506 dealers and have over $24B in purchasing. Again, very impressive numbers.

I had a few minutes when I got home so I did a little research. Found a couple of intersting things. There is a cargroup.org study that provides the following info: Honda has generated 367,000 jobs with $17Billion in wages to US workers. 152,000 are direct employees with $8B in wages and...

Originally Posted By: LS2JSTS Originally Posted By: Cardinal49 I disagree. Honda, Toyota, Nissan, BMW, Subaru, Hyundai, etc have also invested billions in the US. All of these companies, as well as GM and Ford need to do so to compete effectively in the US market. I do not beleive that GM or...
